Line : 12lb Berkely Fireline with 40cm 24 lb Flourocarbon leader

i use this combo when spinning/dropshot for small leries:

rod: elbe 6ft6 dropshot/spinning (medium action)
reel: shimano grinder (2500)
line: 3.6 kg kingfisher

Out of the only two I have my favorite is:

7' Sensation Passion Stick ML (1/8 to 1/2 oz)

Diawa Exceller 3000

15lbs Mustard Ultra Braid

Maxima FC leader either 12 or 20 lbs

• Fenwick 7ft HMG medium / heavy[/*]
• Daiwa Tierra 2500, Suffix 20lb

Now if I could just win the lotto I would upgrade the Daiwa to a Stella 4000.

Hi Baardman,

I got the 8' Sensation Passion Stick, with diawa exceller 3500E and 20lb braid and 50lb fluoro.

What length leader do you use, that last eye looks very small... Do you have trouble when casting?

 

[YzeOne]

When I bought my kit , I asked the same question  & the salesman said that a 400mm/40cm leader was sufficient. So that's what I use. I just make sure that the double uni knot joining the fireline to the flouro leader is outside the eyes before casting.I have not had any problems since. my 2c !

i enjoy the exceller 8ft rod and the 2500 exceller reel with heavier of the to spools filled with 10lb suffix braid(275m) and 12lb maxima fluoro leader,fantastic alrounder

on the other spool for the skiddish fish 4lb vanish,4lb crystal f-line and back 4lb vannish fluoro with the same rod. (not sure if berkley vanish has hit the selfs there yet,its about R130 for 250yd in oz,where maxima fluoro was about R45 for 50yd)iv been fishing it resonible hard-hasn't failed yet

I have been using the Vanish Fluoro ( in SA)for over a year now but find that it doesn't tie as well as other FCs
